host: in connecticut, on our line for independents, what was it like for you during the storm? caller: we didn't lose power but we had rains. i do not believe this nonsense when it comes to climate change. years ago there were growing high-quality wine grapes in scotland, something we haven't been able to do. climate always changes. and it will happen 100 years again from now. and you want to regulate the weather? good luck. how much nonsense do we have to take? host: were you watching earlier when we showed the clip of bill clinton in minnesota? talking about global climate change and criticizing governor romney's policies? caller: what is he going to do? regulate the weather? good luck. there is nothing we can do. host: you are calling on the independent line. this is an issue that could sway you to vote for governor romney? caller: i would prepared to vote libertarian, but i suppose romney. i cannot vote for the man in the white house right now. i have to vote for the less of a two =. you worry about the sky is falling, it is the falling for over 50 years. and as the hundred
